I love love love this place for my daughter, they are so polite, patient and kind! Their very caring, and they treat your kids as if they was their own! My daughter has been going here since 6 months and she loves it! They teach them other languages and more, my baby so advanced at the age of two! I promise parents you will not regret having your child to attend their facility!
Demesha WoodsApr 23, 2026I love this daycare. I’ve been struggling to find a good, trustworthy daycare for my kids. As soon as I walk in it’s all good vibes, kids are happy, teachers are involved and they greet each kid with kindness and motivation every morning! I’ve never seen another childcare environment where people actually care about what they do or care as much about the kids they’re providing for. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with different daycares but this one is top tier. Thank you to all the childcare providers for the hard work you do so well! 🩷

Patricia AlbaFeb 3, 2026The Ivy Academy is a great place for your babies. I am a new mom and I was nervous about getting my child into daycare, but he adjusted so well. The staff is amazing. The location is great. My baby is hitting all of his milestones and I truly believe it has to do with his time at the daycare. Love my girls here at the Ivy Academy thank you for taking such good care of my baby boy.
